What Texas Heart Medical Group does

Texas Heart Medical Group operates as The Texas Heart Institute Center for Cardiovascular Care, a private cardiovascular medical practice headquartered in Houston, Texas, with two clinical offices (a cardiology office at 6624 Fannin Street and a surgery office at 1101 Bates Avenue). The practice was formally established in October 2021 under the leadership of President Dr. Eduardo Hernandez, rebranded in December 2022 to align with The Texas Heart Institute's brand, and completed a strategic integration with Baylor College of Medicine on July 31, 2025, now operating as The Texas Heart Institute at Baylor College of Medicine. The practice is staffed by 16 board-certified cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons with faculty appointments at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, supported by over 30 dedicated staff including clinic coordinators, nurses, vascular technologists, and administrative personnel.

The clinical portfolio is organized across ten specialty clinics — AFib, Aortic & Vascular Medicine, Cardiometabolic Disease & Prevention, CTO & High-Risk Coronary Interventional, FMD & Arterial Dissection, Heart Failure & Transplant, Limb Preservation, Valve & Structural Heart Disease, Vein, and Women's Heart Center — spanning the full cardiovascular continuum from preventive cardiology to advanced heart failure, transplantation, and investigational stem cell therapies (active clinical trial NCT02962661). The practice deploys state-of-the-art diagnostic and interventional technologies including cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, intravascular lithotripsy, cardiac PET/CT, cardiac SPECT, transesophageal echocardiography, nuclear stress testing, cryoballoon ablation (first in Houston), hybrid AFib ablation, TAVR, balloon valvuloplasty, mitral clip procedures, and percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair. Procedural and surgical care is delivered through hospital privileges at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center.

Revenue is generated through professional services billing (fee-for-service model) with participation in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and a broad range of commercial insurance plans. Patient financial responsibility includes copayments, deductibles, coinsurance, and non-covered services. The practice participates in employer-sponsored Centers of Excellence programs providing cardiovascular care to Shell Oil and Motiva Enterprises employees and dependents, and accepts international patients through a dedicated international patient services channel. Following the July 2025 Baylor integration, billing and patient account systems transitioned to Baylor Medicine's infrastructure, and patients are onboarded via the Baylor MyChart patient portal.
